Alf Bentley Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Hoping for a Burnley win, but would be quite satisfied with a draw. Whether we achieve automatic promotion is now largely down to us, I think. If we can maintain half-decent form, so as to end up with about 92-95 points, I can't see Burnley or anyone below them matching that. QPR might (though the loss of Austin surely makes it less likely). A defeat for QPR today would reduce their chances of catching us and could be a big psychological blow, particularly after losing Austin. It would also be most satisfying to watch Redknapp squirm if it looked like they might not get automatic promotion.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Love how even sky are saying 1st is ours... still not letting it go to my head.
Leicesterpool Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Need this game to be a draw to be honest drop points off both otherwise a Burnley win!
Matt Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Showing clips of Leicester, then they say 'Let's talk about Leicester first' Anyone would think this the buildup to a Leicester game not buildup to a QPR/Burnley game.
promised land Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Love how even sky are saying 1st is ours... still not letting it go to my head. Peter Beagrie as well, they said we were faves under Sven though so I don't really pay attention to the media. QPR can't score goals without Austin though looking at those goal stats.
Guest Bilo Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 In fairness, a Burnley win puts us eight points ahead of both sides with 18 games to go. It's not that big a shock we're the centre of attention in the league. Most neutral observers would conclude it's ours to nause up.
Unabomber Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Charlie Austin looks very cool sitting in the stand.
MGLCFC Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Whilst I'd love us to be Champions, and that goal is well within our grasp, I'd rather it become a two horse race. Therefore, I'm wanting a QPR win - that could increase the gap to 14 points to third this afternoon if all goes well.
Rincewind Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Not sure what I want it to be. Would it not be better for the gap between 2nd and 3rd to be bigger? Then again I want City to come top.
Webbo Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Charlie Austin looks very cool sitting in the stand. I love that sig.
Unabomber Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 I love that sig. Thanks I made it this morning.
turkish14 Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 That's QPR second top scorer now off :-) injured.. Edit: didn't make a difference 1:0 QPR
The Year Of The Fox Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 22 broken legs please 21 to go. Yes get in
Guest Bilo Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 I can see this league becoming a two horse race.
AKCJ Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 While I want QPR to win, I wish Doyle didn't score. You wait for Redknapp to be all smug about it in his interview. Massive gamble, he's been wank this season.
ScouseFox Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 11 points clear of 3rd played the same amount of games. Burnley are long gone. Derby/Forest much more of a concern to me.
fazzyfox Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Someone give the Burnley keeper a cap if he can't see. The worlds gone mad, people who need them don't wear them, people who don't need them (chavs hanging round indoor shopping centres) do. And no-one in this country who owns one has ever played baseball (although a number of them do own a bat).
Brooksy Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 11 points clear of 3rd played the same amount of games. Burnley are long gone. Derby/Forest much more of a concern to me. Agreed.
Aus Fox Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Trippier is having a mare early doors, being taken to peices.
ScouseFox Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 On another note I was kinda excited to see how the world's best right back, Trippier, was going to play today. Been made to look a complete mug by Traore at least 3 times in 16 minutes so far.
Aus Fox Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Burnley losing this will shake their confidence, could end their challenge
Guest Bilo Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 11 points clear of 3rd played the same amount of games. Burnley are long gone. Derby/Forest much more of a concern to me. Derby I'm less concerned about. Pretty much everyone in the top six has done them and they seem to have gone backwards since we tonked them. Forest draw too many for automatic in my opinion. They're good at spoiling and have some decent individuals, but play-off bound. I wouldn't like to play them in the play-offs considering the game at our place and the fact that their awful play-off record must change sooner or later, sod's law would make it against us. All this being said, we need to be looking at automatic given our position right now. Play-offs would suggest we're going to muck it up, and we've shown very few signs so far.
